Sun dried tomato cashew pesto pasta – quick meal!

Have you ever make a meal out of what you have in your pantry and refrigerator? That happens to me all the time. Actually, that is how I usually decide what to make for my dinner or lunch. It helps exercise my creativity by coming up with something out of what I have and sometime I even surprised myself. hahaha Yesterday, I wanted to fixed something really quick for lunch and started to search my pantry. I have leftover sun dried tomato and wanted to do something with it before it goes bad. Tomato based sauce and pasta seemed to be a good combination (I thought) and nothing is quicker than pasta, right? I am not going to make tomato sauce though, it takes a lot more time.(I will do tomato sauce in future post) This post is about quick meal so Instead, I decided to do pesto sauce.

Pesto is an italian sauce that traditional contains garlic, basil, pine nut, olive oil and cheese and the rooted word means to pond, to crash. I have fresh basil in my pot garden and olive oil in my pantry. I do not have pine nuts on hand but it was not a problem. The idea is to give a creamy nutty taste sauce so cashew nuts will do. Since this is a vegan recipe I will not use any cheese but I have a quick vegan parmesan recipe for you to sprinkle on top. It will be delicious with or without it. So here you go!
